Saw gauge



bent too far the lugs 8 will be spaced from the side of the saw body,thereby'permitting the device to rock from side to side. After the toothhas been gaged, the lever set 4 may be employed to properly adjust thetooth, or if desired bend the tooth over still further, the block set 6may be 'em-Y loyed and the cross arm 9 will assist in holding the handlein proper position and preventing the tooth from sinking into the woodtoo far.

means whereby the handle may be readily and -properly held in vproperposition during use of the raker swage and the hand employed' forholding the tool protected from the instrument employed to deliver theblows to the upper end 5 of the handle l.

It will be understood, by referring to Figure 2 of the drawings thatwhen it is desired, this tool may employed as a bench set,`

the saw being secured upon the bench and the tool held in such a mannerthat one of 'thebeveled corners 18 of the slotted ends is engagedagainst one side of the tooth i of the set and blows delivered to theopposite side of the tooth by means of a hammer or the like. This may bethe preferred way of employing the tool for setting the saw teeth whenonly a few of the teeth are to be set. v

lt is-believed that the complete construction and operation of thisimproved tool will be readily apparent from the foregoing paragraphstaken in connection with the aecompanying drawings without furtherdetail description. y

While the preferred embodiment of this invention has been shown anddescribed, it will be understood that minor changes in the details ofconstruction and arrangement of parts may be resorted to within thescope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of theinvention'.

What is claimed is A gauge of the 'class described consisting of anelongated handle, said handle being a bar having one end constituting asaw tool, an arin disposed in cross relation toand in substantially thesame plane as the handle, said arm projecting on opposite sides of andbeyond the'handle, said arm being located adjacent the end of said barremote to the saw tool whereby a cruciform configuration is provided toconstitute a hand grip when using the tool7 and saw teeth-engaging lugsextending from the said remote end and cross arm.

In testimony whereof l affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
